CMMC Readiness - Built to Pass
Defense contractors face a hard deadline: achieve Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification or lose access to DoD contracts. Haylius guides you from gap assessment to certification — with practitioners who've been through it.
⚠️ Time is running out. CMMC requirements are now in effect for DoD contracts. Contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) must be certified by an authorized C3PAO — self-attestation is no longer accepted. Non-compliance means disqualification from the defense industrial base. The remediation timeline can span 12–18 months. Start now.
What is CMMC?
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification is a DoD framework that replaces the honor system with verified proof. Your security program must be implemented, documented, and independently confirmed — not just promised.
Third-party verification required
Self-attestation is gone. An accredited C3PAO must independently assess and certify your controls before you can bid on covered contracts.
Protects controlled unclassified information
CUI includes technical specs, export-controlled data, and sensitive program information. Mishandling it carries legal, contractual, and national security consequences.
Tiered maturity levels
CMMC Level 1 covers basic cyber hygiene. Level 2 aligns to all 110 NIST SP 800-171 practices. Level 3 adds advanced requirements for the most sensitive programs.
Documentation is evidence
Policies, SSPs, POA&Ms, and audit trails aren't just paperwork — they are your certification. Without them, even well-implemented controls will fail assessment.
Our CMMC Services
From your first gap analysis to walking into a C3PAO assessment with confidence — Haylius supports every phase of your certification journey.
CMMC readiness assessments
Know exactly where you stand before your C3PAO does. We conduct a structured gap analysis against CMMC Level 2 requirements and deliver a clear, prioritized roadmap to certification.
